Volkswagen Gol Power 1.4l

Year: 2011

Owned: 2011-06-01 - 2015-03-01

Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina

Description: My first car, got it from new. I had it for 4 years, it was the longest car I've ever had, I loved it. It took me to school and work, and I was daily driving it for about 100km a day. I sold it a little bit above 100k km mark. Some trips I did with the car involved a 15.000 km trip all around argentina, where we touched almost all provinces and also went into Patagonia. Never broke down, always reliable. I loved this car. Had it from 18 years old to 22 years old. I grew a lot, the car changed too, I wrapped it, changed the tail lights, and unrwapped it and sold it eventually bone stock.

Ford Sierra XR4

Year: 1984

Owned: 2014-08-01 - 2015-08-01

Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina

Description: Initially bought this car for the roadtrip through Argentina. We rebuilt the engine with some friends, and it was running great. Unfortunately I lacked experience at the time to know that these cars are a huge pit. You fix one thing and two break. The day we were supposed to leave for the roadtrip, we had some major damage on the suspension and decided to call it off and just take my gol.

Volkswagen Vento (Jetta) mk5 2.5l

Year: 2007

Owned: 2015-03-01 - 2015-12-01

Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina

Description: This car was a loaner from my mom. I drove it for a year almost, I had sold my Gol and Sierra and was thinking what to do. In the end I gave it back and bought the NX. But it was a great car, lots of reaction, lots of space. Did some trips with it, from Buenos Aires to Florianopolis, and from BA to Punta del este. Very reliable as well, but lacked some character.

Nissan NX2000

Year: 1991

Owned: 2018-07-29 - 2020-11-01

Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina

Description: Bought this car used, I paid 5000USD for it. It was in great condition. I dreamt about owning one of these for years, and when I finally got it felt like a dream. It was a big effort for me at the time to splurge on this car, as I knew if it turned out unreliable it would bankrupt me. Fortunately, it only had some minor issues in the 3 years I owned it, and I daily drove it. Also took me to work and school every day. The dashboard was in mph which was an odity, but the car was imported from the US. An amazing car with the T-tops, felt great to drive on summer. I cried when I sold it, it was a part of my heart. I still think about it often.

Peugeot 206

Year: 2005

Owned: 2020-08-01 - 2021-07-01

Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina

Description: Always loved these ones, bought one of them while I still owned the NX, because the NX had become a little bit fragile. This one had only 50k km, because it was owned by an old lady how didnt drive much, RIP. Bought it for 3k. The tires were almost 15 years old, and I drove them for 500km home. Very nice looking car, and sleek all in black. Unfortunately it was really unreliable, with electrical issues every 3 months. I sold it quick

Audi A3 1.8T

Year: 2001

Owned: 2021-07-01 - 2023-04-01

Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina

Description: Always loved the A3, and I figured it be great to get my first turbocharged car. This one had 180hp stock, and it was a bit tuned by the owner. It was quick, and fun to drive, a little bit low. Had a lot of fun with it, and it was comfy as well. Did some trips like Cordoba, and Punta del este as well. Added some RGB glow for some NFSU2 nostalgia. Sold it before moving to Spain

Volkswagen Golf R32

Year: 2006

Owned: 2023-11-01 - Present

Location: Barcelona, Spain

Description: The GOAT. I love this one. AWD, 250hp, Vr6 engine packed in a small factor. Comfy, looks amazing with the 18 inch stock wheels. Real fast and agile. When I moved to Spain I had some cars in sight, but the Golf was the perfect mix between fun, speed, comfy and low key looks. Still enjoying it today
